@feld thanks. I’ll take a look.

I should probably have checked how many grafana dashboards use influxdb before going through the pain of setting up and integrating influxdb. Back to Prometheus I go.

Someone sent me a video on X. I haven’t been there in a while. I am stunned. Setting aside the moral objections, how are people cutting through the trash heap of conspiracy theories, blatant paid scam ads, mention spam, and foreign propaganda to get any productive use out of it?

Spending the eve of Christmas Eve on the beach.

Also, visit my #onlyfeet page to help pay for servers

Which Linux shell should i be using and why?

You better not shout, you better not cry

Are there any open source alternatives to substack?

Sunset over the beach. The clouds had a break just large enough to give a nice reflection trail without blowing out the highlights.

@Nak that dog would invent calculus for a biscuit.

I got Lacie to wave to the camera

sboms are all the rage now, and I’ve been thinking of them like the ingredients on packaged food. Similar to how some foods have “no MSG” or “sugar free”, I wonder how long it will be before we see software with “No Apache Struts” or “Written with only memory-safe languages”…

@GossiTheDog I don’t know why - there are so many other larger communities that could have moved, but didn’t, at least in significant numbers

I am more than a little surprised to see that Infosec.exchange is the 7th largest mastodon instance, from the perspective of active accounts: https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon

I managed to get a few sunset pics today…. Happy holidays, my friends.

@mvilain you know, from a content perspective, I think Threads may have more concern about stuff coming from the fediverse than the other way around.

I saw some people crabbing about me blocking sh.itjust.works and so I unblocked it. Not 12 hours later, child porn. Not making that mistake again. Sorry

I can only image what people who just signup for an account here on Sunday night are thinking when they see all the #monsterdon posts.
“What did I walk into?!?”

The palm trees are decked out for the holidays

I am watching a (American) football game with my wife. She loves it. It’s an enigma to me. I am quite certain that they are making up rules as they go like some kind of middle school kickball game

@paul_ipv6 I have a very large contingent of India-based employees and listening to them talk about Cricket matches makes my brains leak out my ears. It makes me realize how pedestrian our sports are
